(WARNING: The events and situations depicted in this comic did not actually occur in the video game “Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine”! This is a work of fiction!)

Man, did I love Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine or what. It was my first exposure to Puyo Puyo, even though I had long-heard about how awesome it was in Japan, and (I think) this was the first western release of the game, so of course I absolutely devoured it upon release. It was an addictive puzzle game in single player, but when you had two equally-matched human players fighting it out, sending waves and waves of junk blocks back and forth between each other…I really can’t think of many games that come close to how fun and instantly addictive as this was.

And it still holds up! I recently started playing it again as part of the Sega MegaDrive Collection on PlayStation 3, and found myself surprised at how much fun it was. It’s quite a soothing experience when you’re in the zone. For some reason I’ve developed a habit of intentionally filling the playfield with random blocks and then trying to clear it all out at the last minute, and the cartoon characters are great to watch. Give it a try, it’s on practically every platform ever!

Here are some other comics you might like!

Lesson learned: Don’t put your hand up to do a comic about cars, when you can’t draw cars to save your life. The lack of any real characters is also a bit of a hinderance. OH WELL!

Daytona is an awesome game, and it’s only just recently that we’ve gotten the opportunity to really play it at home, and it’s reignited my love of it all over again. Get yourself a steering wheel and play it on XBLA or PSN you fools! Stop reading this silly comic and get to it!

I have the Saturn version in my car, because the disc can be put into your CD player and you can listen to the soundtrack any time you want. DOO-DA-DOO-DOO-DOO-DA-DOOOOOO!!
